Former Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar revealed that when he started working with Indian media, there were many people who supported him and gave him very useful advice.
Shoaib Akhtar recently appeared as a guest on a podcast where he talked about his experience working in Indian media.
In response to a question, he said that we are developing but in terms of media we are behind India, they are far ahead of us.
“Obviously the reason they are ahead of us is the budget because of which they train and bring forward the talent they have in their country, they encourage the smart people,” he said.
He further said that Geo Television gave me the opportunity to enter Pakistani media but I learned the skill of speaking confidently from India.
Shoaib Akhtar said that the behavior of Indian media is more professional and they pay more than you think, Mumbai never stops, they work 24 hours.
He said that I even told him once that I cannot be as active as you guys.
He added that Salman Khan specifically told me to be careful and not to drive at night and Shah Rukh Khan said that you should only work carefully in this country and not fight anyone because Indian people don’t like that. If you are working and fighting, then they will not call you for work after a month.
Shoaib Akhtar completed his speech and said that yes if something seems wrong to you then you can say like I think that Virat Whali is wasting his time in T20 he should take retirement minutes from T20 format now so I I express my opinion there, those people do not criticize such things.
